Health Care Clinician Perceptions of OTs Providing Services During Well-Baby Visits: A Descriptive Research Study

Abstract

Date Presented 04/01/2022 Parents and caregivers of newborns and infants rely on the expertise of primary care physicians (PCPs) to provide guidance throughout their child’s earliest stages of life. PCPs currently lack time and resources, limiting information imparted at periodicity visits regarding infant health, growth, and development. This study explores perceptions of health care clinicians pertaining to the addition of OTs to provide education during periodicity visits to bridge the gap.
